No one who flies enjoys having to go through the TSA security lines, but for William Shatner<\/strong>, his trip to South Africa began with an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.<\/p>\n

Going to South Africa, where he intended to work and then go on safari, meant a twenty-two hour flight, so Shatner wanted to be comfortable on the plane. “I’m going on a long trip to South Africa,” he said. “So I’m wearing very loose clothing…You don’t want anything to bind you.”<\/p>\n

But before getting on the plane, Shatner was obliged to go through the TSA security line. “I never pass through security,” said Shatner. “I have metal in my hip.”<\/p>\n

And indeed, Shatner was pulled over to one side, where he underwent the enhanced security pat-down. While being examined (no belts for men during the security screening) “my pants fall down! I’m in LAX and my pants are around my knees!”<\/p>\n

“It was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me,” said Shatner.<\/p>\n

Shatner can’t resist joking about the incident though. On his Twitter feed, he said “My wardrobe malfunction @LAX is making the rounds online. for those that were witness I apologize. For those that kept staring shame on you!”<\/p>\n
